Abstract

The use of silver as an antibacterial agent has been known for thousands of years. This effect can be amplified by simply reducing the size of silver particles to the nanoscale, with an added advantage of reduction in cost and toxicity. Application of silver nanoparticles to textiles can bring considerable advantages, especially for materials that cannot be washed daily or medical support materials. This book describes a novel synthesis method that the author calls "in situ," in which these nanoparticles are obtained directly on materials. The method is simple and easy to apply and can also be considered green because the reducing agent involved is ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C. It neither requires special modifications in the industrial equipment nor special pressure or temperature conditions. It can be used to grow other metals or metal oxides on a material. The book showcases studies carried out on silver nanoparticles by the author over several years, not only in terms of the synthesis but also the morphological characterization of the substrate to which they were applied. It exhibits SEM images displaying the homogeneity of the silver coating, highlighting that sometimes the simplest way is the best way.

Abstract

L'ouvrage "Antibiogramme" est la seconde édition du livre paru en 1985. Au cours des vingt années écoulées, de nouvelles classes d'Antibiotiques ont été commercialisées et de nombreux caractères de résistances ont émergé et disséminé. Il était donc amplement nécessaire de réactualiser un livre qui est à l'origine de la vulgarisation du concept de "Lecture interprétative" des test d'étude de sensiblité in vitro des bactéries aux antibiotiques. L'ouvrage est structuré en quatre parties : les principes et les méthodes de l'antibiogramme, l'antibiogramme des principaux groupe bactériens, les fiches techniques d'étude pratique des antibiotiques et enfin des annexes et définitions. La coordination de cet ouvrage, rédigé par plus de cinquante auteurs, a été assuré par Patrice de Courvalin, Responsable de l'Unité des Agents Antibactériens et directeur du Centre National de Référence de la Résistance aux Antibiotiques à l'Institut Pasteur de Paris, Roland Leclercq, Chef du Service de Microbiologie du CHU de Caen et Edouard Bingen, Chef du Service de Microbiologie de l'Hôpital Robert Debré à Paris. L'ouvrage qui se veut pratique, est principalement destiné aux bactériologistes et biologistes hospitaliers, aux biologistes des laboratoires d'analyse médical et aux professionnels de la santé humaine et animale ou de l'industrie intéressés par l'antibiothérapie.

Abstract

"Antimicrobial resistance has existed in nature long before the discovery of antibiotics itself. The mechanisms of resistance are prevalent among the bacterial population. Over a period and facilitated by indiscriminate usage of antibiotics, these mechanisms are transferred from one type of bacteria to other, including the pathogenic ones. In addition, the rate of discovery of novel antimicrobials is much slower than the rate of evolution of antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, there is a need for alternative strategies to control antimicrobial resistance to save lives. In this book, the novel strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance are described, emphasizing collaborative measures of control. We describe the concerted efforts undertaken by global communities to combat antimicrobial resistance in detail. The most efficient strategy could be a behavioral change towards indiscriminate consumption, usage, and prescription of antibiotics"--
